Strat 40th Anniv SNB : Amazing sound, small kinks here and there
I'll start off by saying this guitar sounds incredible, even with the stock "designed by Fender" pickups. After a proper set-up (not that the factory one was bad, but not it wasn't great either), it had no problem sounding close to what an American Fender sounds like.
That aside, the price point is showing in other things such as somewhat cheap feeling tuning pegs, cheaper wiring, nut not being perfectly cut, etc.
Even with the mentioned kinks, the guitar makes up for them with its tremendous sound, very comfortable neck, and being a great platform for mods as well.
Bravo, Squier!
Later EDIT:
After playing it more, the quality issues start to show up more, such as my input jack plate coming off because the screw had no wood to stick to, which in turn made me notice how a few screws from the pickguard were also spinning in the air because the wood didn't hold them in place.
One final grievance is a few frets towards the body that slowly seem to be coming out of their slot.
